to finish the tropical look I am planning on planting palm trees around the garden. One is planted in the back already thanks to Jeanne Texasgal77 who's given me a beautiful Majesty palm.
this is before it was planted. My impatient gardener self wouldn't wait till spring..and I planted it during our very warm November...it is still doing rather well.
This particular palm loves water, which seems un palm tree like as far as most go. I have a friend who has one growing -in- his pond. I planted it near my lamp post, where it seems to retain moisture more than other areas of the garden.
I have a flame tree near by that needs to be re-located for the same reason as it is not fond of moisture retaining areas..I wonder how it survived last summer with all of the rain!
